Whose 2nd coming would you like most?

[no one]

This guy:
Jimi Hendrix

Fernando, you say:
I am going to instigate a riot here. While I love him, I love Vernon Reid of "Living Color" far more.

Hendrix certainly laid the groundwork for Vernon to do what he did, but if I am going to place bets on who can burn an axe at blazing speed, I put Vernon above Hendrix. Yes, I know, that is music blasphemy

I hear:
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, my meth addled  brain has failed me yet again. My knowledge of musical talent is less than zero.

As states in a previous thread, you are certainly entitled to prefer Reid over Hendrix. However, when it come to overall talent Reid couldn't even carry Jimi's amp. Reid is in no way, shape, or form in the same league as Hendrix.

Now sure, there are guitarists like Satriani, Vai, Malmsteen, and most assuredly Buckethead, who unquestionably manipulate the fretboard in ways that Hendrix could not. Although, none of them would exist without Hendrix.

Jimi completely reinvented the instrument. He ultimately changed the way the people saw what the instrument was capable of. Quite simply put, there is guitar work before the emergence of Hendrix, and then there is guitar work after. 

Perhaps you need to see some sort of specialist, maybe they can help you dislodge your head from your ass.
